Modern Technology Which the Bible Predicted Would Be Invented

I am constantly bombarded with angry remarks from non-Christians like this one, “Why do you bother to read and follow the Bible? It’s just a moldy book that belongs in the trash!” Well, to set the record straight that moldy book have predicted the invention of several advance technology, that we almost cannot live without today, thousands of years in advance. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the video above, which offers several examples of fulfilled prophecies, take a look at the two final videos which close this post and please keep on reading. I must warn you though, that once you glean over all the material in this article you will never look at the Bible in the same way again:

The Book of Job, one of the oldest books of the Bible, which was written almost 4000 years ago gave us this very interesting verse:

Job 38:35Canst thou SEND lightnings, that they may go, and SAY unto thee, Here we are?

This ancient scripture seems to suggest that electricity can be used to actually send messages – please remember this was written about 4000 years ago. The very first electrical message was successfully sent by Sir Francis Ronalds’ primitive electrostatic telegraph, which was perfected by Pavel Schilling, who made the electromagnetic telegraph in 1832. Mankind only discovered this property of electricity less than 200 years ago, while the Bible has alluded to this several millennia ago. Please note that this is just the tip of the iceberg!

Revelation 11:9, 10
And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall SEE their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
And they that DWELL UPON THE EARTH shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall SEND GIFTS one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

The above prophecy from the Book of Revelation implies that somehow, the news that two servants of God who will die, will spread quickly to the entire world in the future! This is a rather bold claim penned by John, the disciple of Jesus Christ, who wrote this around the late 80’s or early 90’s A.D. Right now, news travel at the speed of light, but back in those days news traveled at the speed of horseback, yet this prophecy clearly hints that these two men will be seen by the entire world, LIVE, over the span of three and a half days! I am reminded of Osama bin Laden’s death. Remember that event? When most of the world celebrated, while some sympathetic to his cause mourned, as such, this is precisely the sort of event which will happen in Revelation 11:9, 10. If you know anything about me, I am a strong believer in the idea that history tends to repeat itself:

Ecclesiastes 1:9, 10
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

So, that distasteful behavior, in my opinion, by some Americans when they learned of Osama bin Laden’s death gives us unique insight as to how the prophesied events of Revelation 11:9, 10 will unravel; it is like a snapshot for those events. This prophecy clearly alludes to the invention of television and mass media. In fact, Bible critics always laughed at those verses before, until the invention of television. So, is this just a coincidence? Well, that is quite a coincidence, that the Bible indirectly predicted that television, mass media and telecommunications would be invented. The fact that the people exchanged gifts in Revelation 11:10, is incredibly telling as well! Why is that gift-giving detail significant? It seems to me that the Bible anticipated, well ahead of time, that the world would later celebrate holidays worldwide, which involved exchanging gifts – like Christmas! Please keep in mind that the Book of Revelation was written all the way back in the 1st century A.D. These prophecies are just so amazing!

Matthew 24:15-18When ye therefore shall SEE the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

How can people in Judea, or on their housetops and in the fields will see what is occurring in the Holy place also know as the Holy of Holies in Matthew chapter 24? Most people would easily overlook that scripture, but the Holy of Holies in the Temple was not some sort of public place like a stadium – it was a small chamber, which was visited by the high priest alone, once a year! Jesus is prophesying that when the Third Temple will be rebuilt, this event will occur and everyone will see this event unfold simultaneously! The only way people will “see the abomination of desolation” would be via global media coverage – it is the only explanation which makes sense.

Still not convinced that the Bible prophesied mass media? Take a look at this:

Malachi 1:11
For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same My name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in EVERY PLACE incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for My name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.

Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in ALL THE WORLD for a witness unto ALL NATIONS; and then shall the end come.

Malachi 1:11, is significant as it alludes to mass media – only mass media would make sense of such a bold claim – that God’s name would be great among the Gentiles (non-Jews). Christianity is the largest religion on the planet with almost a third of the Earth’s population professing faith in Jesus Christ and billions more having high regard for Jesus Christ as either a prophet or an enlightened Being. The above prophecy in Matthew 24:14, uttered by Jesus Himself, demands the invention of technology which would make it possible. I will admit that this prophecy is only partly fulfilled for now, as it is still in progress. If you are still not a Christian, this is good news for you, please heed Jesus words and get saved before the end comes, but I must warn you that China, one of the final frontiers of the Gospel, has the Gospel spreading like wildfire now – these prophecies are on the very brink of being fulfilled.

2) Allusion to Public Transport
Yes, the Bible seems to strongly suggest that in the Last Days there will be public transportation systems in place. Take a look at the following passage in the Book of Daniel, which was written 605 to 536 B.C.:

Daniel 12:4
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall RUN TO AND FRO, and knowledge shall be increased.

On the surface, an individual would mistakenly say that this passage simply says that people would “run to and fro” over short distances, but the English language simply does not convey the full meaning properly – the Hebrew word used here for “run to and fro” according to Strong’s Concordance H7751 is “shuwt,” this word specifically is used to refer to transport covering massive distances, whenever it is used in the Bible (for examples see Job 1:7; 2 Chronicles 16:9; Amos 8:12; Zechariah 4:10). So yes, the Bible implies that mass travel will be available. This is further confirmed when you consider this next scripture which was penned by Isaiah around 740 to 680 B.C.:

Isaiah 60:4, 8LIFT UP THINE EYES round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.Who are these that FLY as a CLOUD, and as the DOVES to their windows?

Just to give a little background into this passage, Isaiah 60:4, 8 describes a vision which God showed the prophet Isaiah, so Isaiah is simply writing what he saw in the vision. Isaiah 60:4, 8 seems to allude to airplanes believe it or not. Isaiah 60:8, uses poetic language, however, it is conveying the literal action of flight. On one hand, that verse describes people as clouds, a very common symbol used by the Bible, which represents vast numbers of people moving quickly (for examples see Hebrews 12:1; Matthew 24:30; Jude 1:14). On the other hand, that same passage describes some coming “as doves to their windows,” people are also described as doves in the scriptures, but whenever used it refers to small quantities or a remnant of people (Matthew 10:16; Jeremiah 48:28). How can we be certain that these people are actually flying in planes? There are two major reasons for this interpretation – the Bible went out of its way to say that “these fly,” in Isaaiah 60:8, the word here is transliterated as “`uwph,” according to Strong’s Concordance H5774, it is a Hebrew word primarily used to describe flight through the sky. The second reason why this interpretation seems entirely valid is the use of the words “lift up thine eyes,” in Isaiah 60:4, the Hebrew word used there according to Strong’s Concordance H5375, is transliterated as “nasa'” which means “to rise” or “to lift up.” Quick question: If Isaiah was merely seeing people on land or travelling by sea, then why on Earth was God telling him to lift up his eyes? Simple common sense combined with all that I have shared seems to strongly support the idea that what the prophet Isaiah saw was quite possibly people flying inside aircrafts. Of course, there was no Hebrew word available at the time for airplanes, as those were only invented in 1903 by the Wright brothers, so the closest terms he had available to use were “doves” and “clouds.”

3) Prophesied Arrival of The Internet and Social Media
This point goes hand in hand with my first point, so if you haven’t read my first point, then I will strongly recommend that you do so before you read this one here. The Bible prophesied that there will be a massive knowledge explosion in the Last Days as the following passage suggests:

Daniel 12:4
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and KNOWLEDGE shall be INCREASED.

Knowledge has certainly risen by leaps and bounds with the invention of the internet, which makes multiple volumes of encyclopedias’ worth of knowledge accessible at one’s finger tips. The Bible has even prophesied social behaviors which is very prevalent in our time like widespread narcissism in the selfies movement, the pride, the sense of entitlement by children, all the mistrust, liars, obsession with materialism and many others:

2 Timothy 3:1-5
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.For men shall be lovers of their own SELVES, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Second Timothy was written by the apostle Paul, all the way back in 63 A.D., and unless you have been living under a rock over the last decade, you cannot deny the blatant obsession with material possession as the passage says, “lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.” Do you remember the images flooding the internet and social media, of a certain celebrity’s naked backside? My goodness, I could almost end this point with that recent fact alone, as it embodies almost all that Paul warned about above! The narcissism surrounding the selfies movement is clearly described, “men shall be lovers of their own selves.” These prophecies are so amazing, it is almost as if Paul had time traveled to our time, then time traveled back to his own time and wrote this stuff – his details are spot-on! However, I am sure that some who will read this point, may still think, “This is all just a coincidence recorded in an irrelevant and very moldy book!” Well my “moldy” book seems to have perfectly anticipated the rise of these evils like pride, pornography, materialism, etc. – read the following scriptures and you will see what I mean:

Psalms 101:3I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

1 John 2:15-17Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

If the Bible is so irrelevant, then why is it that it seems to already be prepared to respond to these unhealthy social behaviors which are plaguing our society today? So, do not allow anyone to let you think that the Bible is irrelevant to this post-modern era or that the Bible needs to be twisted in order to compromise with today’s world – the Bible has anticipated all of these behaviors and have even offered simple inexpensive solutions on how to remedy them, as well as, overcoming the addictions associated with them.

4) Even Microchips Were Predicted!
The Bible seems to have foretold the rise of the RFID (Radio-frequency identification) chips. This technology can remotely transfer information via electromagnetic fields. Take a look at the following scripture:

Revelation 13:16-18
And he (Antichrist) causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

There are many who oppose this interpretation of this “mark” of the beast, and claim that it is merely some sort of tattoo on the skin or something else, however, an in-depth study of the original Greek language used here discredits this “tattoo” claim. Strong’s Concordance G5480 tells us that the word in the Greek used for “mark” is transliterated as “charagma” and while this Greek word bears the meaning of “a stamp, an imprinted mark,” it also can refer to a “thing carved, sculpture, or graven work.” Therefore this “mark” of the beast can be something which is carefully fabricated or manufactured and the word usage even implies a 3-dimensional aspect to this “mark,” hence the RFID microchip view is still entirely possible. However, when one takes the time to further investigate the root of the word “charagma,” you will make an amazing discovery! That word comes from the Greek word, “charax” which according to Strong’s Concordance G5482, means “a stake” or “a palisade” which is driven into the ground. These meanings are all incredibly significant, because the chip is embedded into the skin in the same manner as a stake is driven into the ground! With all that said, can you really doubt this interpretation?

What amazes me more about this prophecy is that there seems to be an invisible hand trying to desensitize the entire world into being eager to accept this prophesied mark of the beast, and most of the followers of the world religions are actually being encouraged to accept it when it finally arrives. In Hinduism, Hindus are encouraged to wear marks on their foreheads called “tilaka,” “kum-kum” or “bindi” and they accept this mark on their forehead to help awaken their third eye or align them spiritually for their religious services. Buddhist monks, called Bhikkhu, receive nine burns upon their foreheads created with lit incense, called Jieba scars, which are received at the point of their ordination as monks. Islam actually teaches its followers that just before the Last Day, a beast will rise up from the depths of the Earth, called Dabbat al-Arḍd, who will strike a mark onto the heads of all Muslims with a mark that says “He is destined for Paradise” (see Surah 27:82; Tafsir Ibn Kathir; Hadith like Sunan Ibn Majah). This beast of the Earth will be welcomed by Muslims, but will be shunned by informed Christians, because we were warned centuries before the rise of Islam that this beast from the Earth will be the false prophet of the Antichrist (see Revelation 13:11-14). Those who join the Bahá’í Faith are also desensitized to accept this kind of technology, because new members are actually required to attend an interview to join that religion and are even given an identification card after joining. Even Atheists, Secular Humanists, and Agnostics are being prepared and enticed to receive this prophesied mark of the beast. An RFID microchip, which might quite possibly be a prototype for this prophesied mark of the beast, has been accepted by an entire office which had all of its staff members chipped – just a few days ago. You can read this article here here by the BBC, “Office puts chips under staff’s skin” which exposes this story.

Research in the medical field is currently being done to use RFID chips and nanotechnology to release medicine or even treat diseases as the CBS news video above shows. Some Christian authors like L.A. Marzulli, theorize that these various prototypes to the final mark of the beast will eventually be able to alter the DNA, extend ones life and would effectively transform humans into non-humans. The basis for these theories by Bible teachers is grounded on what Jesus prophesies will happen in the Last Days in Matthew 24:37, “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” One of the activities in the days of Noah was a corruption of the human gene pool (see Genesis chapter 6 and the Book of Enoch). In fact, Noah is described as being “a just man and perfect in his generations,” the word for “perfect” there is the Hebrew word “tamiym,” according to Strong’s Concordance H8549, which means “pure” or “unblemished” primarily in a physical or genetic sense.

With all that said, the entire world is being desensitized into accepting the future mark of the beast, and the driving force to seek this mark will be blasphemous. Why? Because members of all the other world religions, with the exception of the informed Christians, will rush to accept this mark as a method to get “spiritually promoted” as in the case of the Muslims and those of the Bahá’í Faith, to “evolve” in the case of the Humanists or become “more god-like” in the case of those who belong to Eastern religions like Hinduism and Buddhism. The Bible warns that this mark will be humanity’s final massive act of rebellion against the true God, in the form of blasphemy. Everyone will reject the true God and will worship the “strange god” of the Antichrist who bears “the name of blasphemy” upon his head (Revelation 13:1; Daniel 11:36-39). Whatever you do, do not accept this mark of the beast when it arrives. This mark will quite possibly be touted as an evolutionary upgrade by transhumanists or even the aliens, it will be used to buy and sell goods, but more importantly will be used as a sign of allegiance to a religious belief system. Those who do accept, will be damned forever, because Jesus came to save human beings; not human hybrids (Hebrews 2:5-18; Titus 2:11; 1 Timothy 2:3, 4):

Revelation 14:9-11
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

5) Prediction of Weapons of Mass Destruction
This is a very fascinating point, so please keep reading. The Bible contains passages which seems to suggest that mankind would at some point in time wield weapons of mass destruction:

Jeremiah 50:9
For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.

Jeremiah 50:9 above seems to be describing “smart weapons,” like cruise missiles. The word for arrows here, “chets,” can also be used to describe “javelins” or “spears.” In addition to this, the arrows are described as “a mighty expert man” – please note this description is directed to these “arrows” and not the ones firing them – these so-called arrows have an intelligence of their own. The fact that “none shall return in vain” confirms that these weapons are carefully guided and cannot miss! Hence Jeremiah 50:9, written around 627 to 585 B.C., is quite possibly insinuating that mankind will eventually invent smart weaponry or precision-guided munition.

Zephaniah 1:14, 15The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and DISTRESS, a day of WASTENESS and DESOLATION, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of CLOUDS and thick darkness,

Many Bible scholars agree that this passage in Zephaniah, written in 625 B.C., seems to be describing the scenes, sights and aftermath of an atomic bomb detonating or more specifically the aftermath of a nuclear war of apocalyptic proportions. Here we see emphasis placed on sorrow, “wasteness” or utter destruction, distress and desolation. We even see that the Bible for some odd reason felt the need to describe it as a “day of clouds,” a very peculiar detail, which eerily sounds similar to the massive mushroom clouds produced by atomic bombs. Is that passage just a coincidence? With only that scripture, I would understand if you might think so, but by the end of this point you will soon see that this is not a coincidence – take a look at this passage below:

Zechariah 14:12
And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their FLESH SHALL CONSUME AWAY while they stand upon their feet, and their EYES SHALL CONSUME AWAY in their holes, and their TONGUE SHALL CONSUME AWAY in their mouth.

Has anyone ever heard of a plague that strips the flesh off a person’s bones, and dissolves their eyeballs and tongues? No, there is no such disease, however, the late physicist Samuel T. Cohen knows a perfect candidate for the technology which is possibly being described there. And of course he would know…he invented it – it is called the Neutron Bomb! Yes, the neutron bomb is the one and only device that we are aware of that can accomplish the very same things in that passage, written by Zechariah around 520 to 518 B.C. The bomb when detonated, creates an explosion of subatomic particles called neutrons which act like tiny bullets bombarding and shredding apart the large organic molecules contained in all living matter, while these “bullets” tend to miss the smaller molecules found in our infrastructure. What is the end result? To put it simply, all the living organisms die, while all non-living things remain remarkably intact. In my opinion, the Bible uses the best word available in that ancient time for such a modern device, it likens it to a “plague,” and just as all plagues which only attacks people, but leaves infrastructure intact, this bomb accomplishes the very same effect! The living tissue literally gets shredded apart and dissolves away, precisely as the Bible describes. Please feel free to watch the following video where the inventor of this nuclear weapon explains its effects personally:

Now, do you still doubt that the Bible seems to have anticipated the invention of nuclear weaponry? Well, I saved what maybe the one of the best biblical evidence of this for last, however, there are more:

Revelation 6:13, 15And the STARS of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, HID THEMSELVES in the DENS and in the rocks of the mountains;

Some Bible scholars believe that this reference to “stars of heaven” falling to the Earth in Revelation 6:13 may be a symbolic reference to nuclear bombs, because stars actually operate by nuclear reactions, and just like atomic bombs, they also release radioactive particles. When I first read these passages, I had always wondered why these men were hiding within the dens and underground from “stars” in Revelation 6:15? This scenario sounds precisely like what is referred to as “nuclear fallout” – they are quite possibly shielding and protecting themselves from the residual nuclear radiation in those dens. Are you still convinced that the Bible is just a useless moldy book? The Bible prophesies that in the Last Days billions of people will die and that the Earth will be destroyed by mankind’s actions, people laughed about such claims before, but after the invention of nuclear weapons all the skeptics are now silent. In light of all that I have said, I think we need to pay more attention to the claims of this so-called moldy book!:

Isaiah 24:1, 4-6Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

Zechariah 13:8, 9And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.

Revelation 11:18
And the nations were angry, and Thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that Thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear Thy name, small and great; and shouldest DESTROY them which DESTROY THE EARTH.

My question to you is this: Are you saved? Now is not the time to play games, you know what is unfolding in the news these days with ISIS, Iran is racing towards getting nuclear weapons and Russia is constantly threatening to kick start World War III. Why take the chance? Let’s weigh the options here rationally, if I am wrong in my beliefs then I have nothing to lose, however, if you are living without the covering of the Lord Jesus Christ and if you are wrong, then you will have everything to lose! Be wise – choose life – accept the sacrifice that Jesus has paid for your sins, repent of your sins and please get right with God before time runs out:

Matthew 16:24-26
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

For those who still refuse to believe and think that all that I have shared is just paranoia and believe that I am just another Christian crackpot, then I will share this final prophecy, which is actually God’s message for you. The Bible has predicted that people, who are unwilling to reject their own lusts, will mock and reject the fact that we are in the Last Days, that the Lord will return soon and are ignorant that the Lord is actually delaying His coming for their own sake. God loves you very much and is knocking at your door of your heart. Will you answer?:

2 Peter 3:3, 4, 7, 9
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
